My copy of Handmade Christmas Special arrived in the mail today. It has lots of inspiring ideas for Christmas and includes a couple of my projects:
Gift Baskets – I combined some hessian, some Ikea checked fabric and some Kokka linen with cute motifs, to make these baskets. I plan to make a few more for Christmas – an eco friendly packaging solution.
You may recall my little handbag ornaments I made up last Christmas? I added a few more to the mix – I can’t wait to hang them on my tree this year.
This issue also includes a few wonderful designs by Jennifer Reynolds. It is such a fun issue – can’t wait to get started on a few more projects for Christmas.
So neat and original and not one bit tacky – WOW!
Lovely projects, as always! The baskets are adorable:-)
How cute, does Christmas craft ever disappoint?? Love Posie
Christmas is getting closer and closer, isn’t it? Thanks to Judith, I have most of my gifts made, and I will have time to make these cute little ‘extras’. ~karen

Lisa, I love the gift baskets!! I am already making some of them!!!
Beautiful post!! Beijos! Bela.
Fantastic projects Lisa, those handbag decorations are going to make a gorgeous addition to our Christmas tree this year 🙂
Just gorgeous Lisa…see, you HAVE started on Christmas!
Ah you are so inspiring as always. I cannot believe how quickly Christmas is coming up, thanks for some great ideas xo
fab work! i have a stack load of hessian at home….i can now add this to one of the to-do’s!
Those handbag ornaments are so adorable! I love that the ornament hanger is the purse handle – clever idea. And the gift baskets are the perfect gift themselves, but also a great way to give lots of goodies!
Wonderful ideas. Love the little purses..so cute.
